Out of 13 pups she was the only red merle female. I wasn't going to keep her because I didn't
have a lot of red merle females to choose from and i was just going to do the cross again in a
few years. When we lost her dad Token very suddenly, we knew we could never get another
one of her, so she became the next member of the crew.
If a fabulous co-owner comes along that would like to pursue performance events with her we
would let her go as a co-own only so we could continue to show her and breed her in the
future. If not she'll stay here with us.
Ka-Ching
So what can i say about little miss unexpected. She's her mother. She has her mom's build, she has
her mom's head, she has her mom's ears. She is a red merle version of Vegas and thats probably
why I was so drawn to her all along. She has incredible angles like her older sister Jubilee. So
theres not much I don't love about this puppy.
A very smart puppy who is very eager to learn and catches on very fast. She's about 4 weeks
behind in training compared to Pupcorn ( because I wasn't planning to keep her) but she's
catching up quickly. In just a day we've taught her how to get up on a stool type of object, she
doesn't stay as well as Pupcorn, but that will come quickly.
In about an hour I taught her how to shake a paw. She figured out how to walk on a leash in a
crash course Halloween night and had no fear of any of the costumes or noise. I was very
impressed with her.
Her temperament is a bit more mellow than her sister.
Instead of being on fast forward all the time, she's more
relaxed and pays better attention to detail. She loves to
cuddle and was the first puppy to figure out how to jump
onto the couch. Now I can't sit down without her getting up
for cuddle time.
She's very curious and very trusting, not nearly as much
aussie reserve as her mom or some of her siblings. She's
much more trusting than Pupcorn, Pupcorn is very reserved
which we are working with for the show ring.
All in all the more I work with her the more I like her.
She's very smart and will be overloaded with neat tricks
over the winter as we find ways to avoid the cold and keep
the puppies busy.
She'll hit the show rings for the 2010 season and we expect
her to do quite well.
